Blacktail


The view here is gorgeous. I'm facing the Tetons in ankle to shin deep water. It is not uncommon to find moose stalking these same banks.
The drift is perfect & easy, the water a bit spooky. I am fishing with the perfect fly, one Blacktail Baetis, from www.theallenbrothers.com.

The truth is that fly would be my preference, even if it wasn't sold at Allen B's.
Since it is, and I like one of the owners quite well, I have many at my disposal.
The other perk is they last. I can take multiple fish on the same fly and have it hold up well. My fingers feel like I'm tying them in knots when I tie a fly on, so the less moments spent replacing flies, the better.
